Bit of Everything

Finally after lot of waiting, internet on my phone worked. My mind was flowing with the idea for the blog but unfortunately internet on my phone was testing my patience. Anyways you must have guessed by the title that what this blog will be all about. When my colleague and I were catching the train two beggars came in our compartment.
